We Bring the Farm to the Kitchen
Our love for the foodservice industry runs deep. We are first and foremost serial hospitality technology veterans, but we’re also former chefs, restaurant owners, general managers, and even farmers. Cut+Dry was born out of our desire to build a platform that benefits all of the primary stakeholders in this industry: restaurants, suppliers, and food producers. We do this with the aim of making this industry less wasteful, more efficient, and more transparent.
Most recently, we launched The Market by Cut+Dry, which gives consumers in the Bay Area direct access to products that are typically only available to chefs.
Cut+Dry is headquartered in one of the top culinary destinations of the world, San Francisco, CA.
